Description
Colorized scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section of a rice (Oryza sativa) leaf. The crystal-like platelets in the surface are made of wax and protect the plant against water loss; the wart-like bumps enlarge the surface of the leaf and thus increase the photosynthetic activity. The stomata are also visible; they regulate water and CO2 exchange of the plant. Magnification 13001 at 12x11 cm.
